Find out if your US fiancée can register as self-employed in England on a spouse visa and learn about obtaining a National Insurance number.

This is probably a simple answer...I hope.
Me and my US fianc茅e are applying for the U.K. spouse Visa. All going well we get it and then she has to find a job in England.
We are both professional dancers. Her aim is to obviously get work as a dancer. Dancers are basically all self employed. Will she be able to register as self employed with HMRC once she鈥檚 in the U.K.? Because if she鈥檚 getting paid into her British bank account I want to make sure she鈥檚 able to declare it.
Also does she get a N.I number? Tax Reference No.?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Once your fianc茅e has her UK spouse visa, she will be entitled to work in the UK; she will be liable for UK tax from the date she arrives in the UK; the UK Gov has a website with a mass of data on the subject; this will take you there.

Hope this helps.

1) From the earnings perspective you need to establish a taxable structure before you can invoice for a service.
2) NI number is a unique lifetime number used to track employee payments into NI.
3) The tax reference will be found on the documents issued by HMRC once there are workable taxes. Reference types depend on your professional status.
4) For you both to start your activity you have options. Mostly choose between becoming a sole trader (with or without VAT registration), or setting up a ltd company (same note on VAT). Ltd companies are better set up through an accounting company. Accounting costs might be higher (say 50 to 150 pm) but allow dual directorship, employee statuses, shareholding etc), and potentially visas.
I hope it helps a bit. Best of luck with your new adventure.
